How to beat Terror Eel

  • Vulnerable: Ninety-nine is permanent for practical purposes, so every hit after it is half again as much. Crash with Vigor becomes 33 (36 at Ascension 9+).
  • Two clean answers: Artifact negates the Vulnerable outright, or hold it just above 70 and deal the remaining 70 or more in a single turn so Shriek never matters.
  • If neither works: use the stun. Dropping it below half skips its next turn, so unload everything then and keep Block ready for the boosted Crash turns after Terrorize.

Notes

  • HP is fixed at 140 (150 at Ascension 8+).
  • It is an Underdocks elite and fights alone.
  • The Shriek threshold scales in multiplayer along with its HP.
  • Its state machine holds a stun move that the compendium hides; it is only ever reached through Shriek.
